Macy Gray

You don't have to be a rock star - if you don't like the situation you're in, you don't have to settle for it.

Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing.

I write in the studio.

I love detail, like drawing what's on top of someone's coffee table. Maybe there's a little bowl of butterscotch candies on it, next to the four TV remotes.

I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

Interviews are fun, but I get nervous at red carpets.
